Kashiana Singh

April 17

After bathing comes daydreaming

Ever fascinating:

"Green hexagons in Jeremiads.

Krypton lost.

Meursault necks.

On. Pluto

Quails. Racccoons?!"

Stop. Time unspools.

Verity/verily wan, xenic.

You, zen.

Fauna hid in the tall green grasses

April 17 2013

with fauns

and yellow- leaved satyrs

but one day she met her nemesis

in a dark man who fair women in a pool

desired

and fauna fell in love

fell ill

one day fauna died

fauna is dead, like god, they said

and pan, the great goat, with his flute is too

only the dark man and his maids in the pool

survived to tell the truth you view - (you view was originally to the blue)

Version 2

Fauna hid in the tall green grasses

with fauns

and yellow-leaved satyrs.

But one day she met her nemesis

in a dark man whom fair women in a pool

desired

and Fauna fell in love,

fell ill.

Fauna died.

Fauna is dead, like God, they said

and Pan, the great goat, with his flute is too.

Only the dark man and his maids in the pool

survive to tell the truth you view -

Focus on life

Not on the ones who did/do not care

On the failures

Or the strife

But on the ones who did

The victories

And the

"Abundant Life".
